In this episode of the podcast, we discuss equity and slow science with Luisa Maria Diele-Vegas, visiting professor at the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil.

What is "fast science" and what are the consequences of fast science on people and the planet? How can "slow science" be a solution, and what does it take to make slow science the new normal!?

Join us on our mission towards more sustainable research as we discuss obstacles and solutions, talk to other caring scientists, and try to figure out how to make scientific research more sustainable. One thing is certain: Mission Sustainable isn't a Mission Impossible!
